Following the recent launch of the first two Galileo Batch 3 FOC (full operational capability) satellites, 24 navigation satellites designed, engineered and integrated by OHB are now orbiting around 23,000 kilometers above the earth.

How OHB became the prime contractor for the FOC* satellites for the European satellite navigation system Galileo

Following the arrival of Anna and Ellen, our four Galileo FOC* satellites are now all in Kourou (French-Guyana), where an international team of OHB experts will be preparing them for their journey into space. The logistics of these activities have been planned right down to the very last detail.

Dr. Wolfgang Paetsch, member of the management board of OHB System AG, talks in an interview about the importance of the Galileo program for OHB and why the team will continue to work at Galileo program immediately after delivery of the Batch 2 satellites. We. Create. Space.

The long winter had us in its grip. Just the right time to take a look at a job in the tropics. Some 1,400 people work at the spaceport in French Guiana. One of these is the new Galileo Launch Campaign Manager, Dr Alain Pajonk. We. Create. Space.
